How to find occurances of a string in crystal report? - crystal-reports

I am trying to count the total number of (First column closed) Closed records. But I Get the result like 1.00 and 0.00 .
Desired results:
Code:
Local NumberVar str := 0;
Local NumberVar strLen := count({#Status});
Local NumberVar i;
For i := 1 To strLen Do (
If instr(i, {#Status}, "Closed") <> 0 Then
str := str + 1;
);
If(str > 0 ) Then str


You have two obvious options:
1) Running total with a evaluation expression: instr({#Status}, "Closed") <> 0 set to count
2) Create a new formula if instr({#Status}, "Closed") <> 0 then 1 else 0 then you can summarize that (either in a formula or using a "summary")


Your formula should be:
// formula's result might not always be 'Closed'
IIf( InStr({#Status}, "Closed") > 0, 1, 0 )
or
// formula's result is clean
IIf( {#Status}="Closed", 1, 0 )
** edit **
Insert a summary field that references this formula. By the way, this formula doesn't need to be added to the canvas to function correctly.

crystal report: print missing records

i want to print missing records in crystal report .
i am using below formula in the report and i have placed this formula in details b section.
details a has normal report fields.
formula:
local numbervar firstemp; // first Emp#
local numbervar nextemp; // next Emp#
local numbervar diff; // difference between firstemp and nextemp
local numbervar increase; // increment for missing Emp#'s
local numbervar result;
increase := 0;
firstemp := tonumber({getRptSalesSummery;1.Bill_Id});
nextemp := tonumber(next({getRptSalesSummery;1.Bill_Id}));
nextemp := nextemp -1;
diff := nextemp - firstemp;
if nextemp = firstemp
then ""
else (
while diff >= 1
do (
diff := diff - 1;
increase := increase + 1;
result := firstemp + increase;
exit while;
);
totext (result,"0000") & chr(13);
)
this formula is not giving me range.
for example if in report there is range of 1 to 10 and 6,7,8,9 is missing records, then if i check in the report its printing 1 to 5 and 6 as missing then directly 10, but its not giving me 7,8,9.
basically i required range of missing records

Display Serial Number as Roman letters in Crystal Reports

need to display serial no as roman letters(i,ii,iii,iv etc) in my crystal reports. I have the serial number captured as record number (1,2,3,4...).so what i have to do for it in crystal report.

Just use the Roman() function provided by Crystal Reports

I can't take much of the credit; I simply ported the code from this VB Helper article into Crystal, but it was a fun exercise:
NumberVar iCounter := 0;
Local StringVar ch := "";
Local NumberVar result := 0;
Local NumberVar new_value := 0;
Local NumberVar old_value := 0;
Local StringVar temp := "";
temp := UpperCase({?#Roman});
old_value = 1000;
For iCounter := 1 To Len(temp) do
(
// See what the next character is worth.
ch := Mid(temp, iCounter, 1);
if ch = "I" then new_value := 1
else if ch = "V" then new_value := 5
else if ch = "X" then new_value := 10
else if ch = "L" then new_value := 50
else if ch = "C" then new_value := 100
else if ch = "D" then new_value := 500
else if ch = "M" then new_value := 1000;
// See if this character is bigger
// than the previous one.
If new_value > old_value Then
// The new value > the previous one.
// Add this value to the result
// and subtract the previous one twice.
result := result + new_value - 2 * old_value
Else
// The new value <= the previous one.
// Add it to the result.
result := result + new_value;
old_value := new_value;
);
// Format the number without commas or decimals
ToText(result, 0, "");
Simply replace my {?#Roman} parameter placeholder with your variable, and you're all set.

But it really doesn't help t so there will be this 3 case (t improved from link 2-3) it can apply to the 3rd or even 10th group of headings
TH3: ex: (you want to create a text message for group 3)
Formula fields/new/"nameabc"/enter/
"
WHILEPRINTINGRECORDS;
GLOBAL NUMBERVAR INTSTTGRTEST;
INTSTTGRTEST :=0;
/ ctrl+S/ drag it out and put it in heading group 2 and hide it (= right click/format field/common/ check Suppress/ok) you can go to link 3 to see
Formula fields/new/"nameabcd"/enter/
"
WHILEPRINTINGRECORDS;
GLOBAL numbervar INTSTTGRTEST := INTSTTGRTEST + 1;
stringvar y;
STRINGVAR ARRAY X := ["A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K", "L","M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X ","Y","Z"];
if INTSTTGRTEST <= 26 then (
redim preserve X[INTSTTGRTEST];
y := X[INTSTTGRTEST]
);
y;
/ ctrl+S/and pull it out and place it at group 3
and the alphabet can be whatever we want. ex:
X := ["I","II","III","IV","V","VI","VII","VIII","IX","X","XI" ,"XII","XIII","XIV","XV","XVI","XVII","XVIII","XIX","XX","XXI","XXII","XXIII"," XXIV","XXV","XXVI","XXVII","XXVIII","XXIX","XXX","XXXI","XXXII","XXXIII","XXXIV","XXXV","XXXVI" ,"XXXVII","XXXVIII","XXXIX","XL","XLI","XLII","XLIII","XLIV","XLV","XLVI","XLVII","XLVIII"," XLIX","L"];
or
X := ["a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y","z"];
hope it can help you

Crystal Reports Formula to generate a random number

Let assume
x = 1001
Now I am inputting x to my code and generating y in the following order:
Length of 1001 is 4 so starting from the last number
i.e. 1(number) * 4(position of number) & 0 * 3 & 0 * 2 & 1 * 1 that gives a new number 4001
Another eg. 1234 gives 16941
In crystal I am creating a formual as follows:
stringvar tmp_EventNo;
stringvar tmp_Password;
numbervar i;
numbervar m_password;
tmp_EventNo = Trim(ToText({GR_EVENT.event_number}));
For i := Len(tmp_EventNo) To 1 Step -1 Do
(
tmp_PassWord = tmp_PassWord & Trim(ToText(Val(Mid(tmp_EventNo, i, 1)) + i));
);
m_Password = Val(tmp_PassWord);
m_password
But it doesnt seem to work. Just results in 0.00
Please help thanks in advance

Nice easy one- you will kick yourself :)
In Crystal = is used for evaluation. := is used for assignment.]
There were a few other issues with the code so i tweaked it for you:
stringvar tmp_EventNo;
stringvar tmp_Password;
numbervar i;
numbervar m_password;
tmp_EventNo := Trim(ToText({GR_EVENT.event_number}, 0, ''));
For i := Len(tmp_EventNo) To 1 Step -1 Do
(
tmp_PassWord := tmp_PassWord & Trim(ToText(Val(Mid(tmp_EventNo, i, 1)) * i,0));
);
m_Password := Val(tmp_PassWord);
tmp_PassWord;

Help with If Else formula

I want to run an if else on base of a commandfield on each row,
For example
If {CommandField=0} Update counter by 1 return counter
else if {CommandField=1} return 'Reporting'
I tried it but having error
stringVar layerType;
shared numberVar layNo;
if({Command.ISREPORT}=0) then
layNo:=layNo+1;layerType:=layNo;layerType
else if ({Command.ISREPORT}=1) then
layerType:='Reporting'; layerType
results should be like
ISREPORT LayerNo
0 1
0 2
0 3
0 4
1 'Reporter'

Not sure I understand but is this right:
stringVar layerType;
shared numberVar layNo;
if({Command.ISREPORT}=0) then
( layNo:=layNo+1;
layerType:=ToText(layNo);
layerType;
)
else
( if ({Command.ISREPORT}=1) then
layerType:='Reporting';
layerType
)
...which can be simplified to this:
shared numberVar layNo;
if({Command.ISREPORT}=0) then
(
layNo:=layNo+1;
ToText(layNo);
)
else
(if ({Command.ISREPORT}=1) then
'Reporting';)
..assuming the value of ISREPORT can only be 0 or 1 then we can further simplify to this:
shared numberVar layNo;
if({Command.ISREPORT}=0) then
(
layNo:=layNo+1;
ToText(layNo);
)
else
(
layNo:=0;
'Reporting';
)
Update - I've changed the last example to reset the counter on 'reporting'.
Edit:
change the ToText(.. to this ToText(layNo,0); (sets decimal places to zero)

crystal reports : character "." in domain string errors

My goal is the discern whether the domain has a subdomain or not by counting the number of periods there are in the domain name. If it has 2 periods, there is obviously a subdomain.
I have the following crystal reports formula written in crystal syntax
local numbervar count :=0;
Local numbervar strLen := length({?domain});
local stringvar c := {?domain};
local numbervar i;
local numbervar pos2 :=0;
for i:=1 to strLen do
( if Mid({?domain}, i, 1) = "." then
(
count := count + 1;
if count = 2 then (
pos2 := i
);
);
);
if count > 1 then
left({?domain}, pos2)
else
left({?domain},instr({?domain}, ".")-1)
any ideas? hopefully this is something my tired eyes are just glazing over.
UPDATE: here is the weird thing that happens.
If I add "+ totext(pos2)
if count > 1 then
left({?domain}, pos2) + totext(pos2)
else
left({?domain},instr({?domain}, ".")-1)
it outputs correctly subdomain.domain with the .com removed
if i run it without the totext(pos2)
if count > 1 then
left({?domain}, pos2)
else
left({?domain},instr({?domain}, ".")-1)
it only shows the subdomain part of subdomain.domain.com
Any ideas why?

Should there be a final ; on the last line?
Alternatively, have you considered making the entire formula something like:
Left({?domain},InStrRev({?domain}, ".")-1)
